I’m Stephanie
I’m Stephanie, a New York-based sauce specialist who traded a life of sweets for a world of Scovilles. After one accidental encounter with a house-made habanero sauce in Queens, I realized that spicy food wasn’t just about the burn—it was about a whole new dimension of flavor.
Now, I’ve dedicated my kitchen to Nova Recipes, where I help home cooks master the art of homemade hot sauces, fermentation, and global spicy cuisines. My philosophy is simple: Flavor-First Heat. Whether you’re a mild-salsa lover or a Carolina Reaper warrior, I’m here to help you spice up your kitchen with confidence, safety, and a lot of zing.
Let’s turn up the heat!.
